this hasnt been and easy year for you,
and as one who cares about you,
there have been so many times
ive wished i could have somehow
spared you some of the pain
or atleast cushioned the blows.
but it seems that we each
have our own roads to travel in life .
for a while, we're on a smooth,
well woron path,
then suddenly the road swerves
and we find our selves
facing one obstacle after another.
ive watched you with sdmireration
as youve faced each difficulty
with strength and courage
and even in those times
when youve wanted to give up ,
you somehow found it
in yourself to carry on ...
and youll continue to do so
youre a remarkable person
but even though this is your
road to travel , look along the side
from time to time...the person youll see
there, the one cheering you on , will be me.
